My point is, that the hallmark of any fair deal is that if you turn the terms around, it would still be considered by most people to be a fair deal. So, I am turning the terms around. Instead of money going in, I describe money going out with the same terms. After all, from the public's viewpoint, the money is going out. And when I look at it that way, it sure doesn't seem to be a fair deal....

However your forgetting that from the publics point of view they have been making money from every sale of the book and had the choice as to if they pay any money out or not.
ask if you would be happy for a small sum of money to go into the public purse and get something nice to read for a voluntary payment?
